Awesome! Where in Aus did you visit last time around?

dont worry, you're not. And to counter that, i say the church is still very helpful, but in reality, unecessary. A non-religion based aid foundation could do the work just as fine, and to be honest, i don't believe the sort of statistics the christian ones give out about conversion numbers. I bet many or the those who have been 'converted' sinply do it for the favouratism im 100% sure the christian organisations give to them. You're digging yourself a hole calling a Christian Organization Liars. :lol: Edit: Ah, Good to see we can count on you to tell us what's happened and what hasn't thousands of years ago. And especially since it hasn't been proven yet. It just makes the decision making that so much bit easier, with you around. THANKS BLUELANCER! :roll: ^^ Note the Sarcasm I could really turn this into a religious argument, but i'm not going to. Just note the bold text and think about it for a second. Did you know that proof can involve logic? Search proof for evolution on google. By the way, sorry if I misinterpreted what you wrote and your whole post is sarcastic, not just 2 particular words.

Wow, it looks like this topic has taken off a bit. Thanks for the responses and it's good to see some of you with music tastes such as slipknot, tool, IKTPQ, Jeff Buckley and Pantera!! :thumbsup: \

Wewt and Roffle respectively. \

I find that admirable. Thanks for the posts again guys. keep it up. :thumbsup:

Thanks for the replies so far guys, good to see another metal fan so far :D and Issy, good to hear your a fan of cricket, and oh, uhh... sorry we kinda beat you 5-0 in the Ashes :lol: jks. :P

Indeed, it's always nice to hear that... But what about the HSC? This year, the UAI req. for Commerce at Sydney Uni was 94.85. So, to some extent, (I may have interpreted your comment differently to its intention) your future success is dependant on the numbers on a test. To some people, success is a simple low payed job that they love. A Uni degree does not = success in other words.

I don't think its stupid. It can lead to some productive discussion. Do you really think everyone has been replying like - 'I don't conform, because i'm better than you and conformity is stupid.'? I don't think so.

G'day fellow off-topicers. I was thinking and came to the conclusion that I don't know many of you very well at all so i thought I'd set up a simple set of questions so I, and indeed all of us, can get to know each other better. Keep in mind all of the questions below are optional and you can answer them to assure your personal privacy at your discression. Name - Age - Country - City/Town - Sports played/followed - Music Taste - Some favourite bands - Instruments played - Belief Inclination - Hobbies/Other Interests - Ideal Travel Location - Future Aspirations/Career Aspirations - Here are mine: Name - Callum Age - 18 (legal drinking age :thumbsup: ) Country - Australia City/Town - Brisbane Sports played/followed - Cricket, Rugby League and others to a lesser extent Music Taste - Heavy Metal, Prog Rock/Metal, Alt Rock, Nu Metal, Bluegrass, Jazz, others Some favourite bands -Lamb of god, Rage Against the Machine, John Butler Trio, Parkway drive, Tool, Sunk Loto, others Instruments played - Guitar Belief Inclination - Agnostic, Humanist Hobbies/Other Interests - Writing music, playing music Ideal Travel Location - Europe Future Aspirations/Career Aspirations - Graduate University, Find some mates willing to start a band. Hopefully this can be a constructive and insigtful topic. Any suggestions for other headings are welcome. And lastly, if this isn't welcome here, mods please lock or move.

You make some good points there. I remember reading the crucible and watching the movie. They all believe that witchcraft is evil or something (bad memory) and basically they all just go with it and conform to the society they are in and end up killing the innocent guy. @ The bold, I agree totally, conformity is seen as a need by those doing it, but I think in many instances (including the schoolyard scenario) it is fueled by what others will think of you.

Of course it wouldn't, but he was just giving a hypothetical which I thought made a valid argument.

Each to his own I suppose. I suppose you are a vegetarian?

1. Using dirty needles is ILLEGAL; health and safety will shut them down and fine them like all hell. Also; you have every right to tell them to open EVERYTHING that they'll use in front of you; if they refuse; you can simply walk away / sue them if they refuse mid-process). Tattoo-ist generally wash thier hands up to TWENTY times a day; more than. Clinics are usually one of the most cleanest places you'll ever vist (sparing hospitals) but they come pretty damn close. At everyone having a go at Tattoo's and those who have them, etc: [cabbage] generalizations should be kept to yourself till you know the industry that you're insulting more than your own guesses :uhh: I'm gonna have to go a big DITTO on that one. The fact that you think that they would actually use or allow them to use dirty needles means you don't really know what you are talking about.

I used to love that game. I'll have to pick it up again sometime.

I havent played Doom II in ages. I might see if I can download it now... :twisted:

If you really feel that way, then stop taking any form of medication, because they all had to be tested at some stage, many of them on animals. :-w

=P~ Anyway, I'm starting a university science course this year, so hopefully I will be able to do some dissections. I find the inner workings of animals interesting.

Just get a fender strat to start off with I rekon. :thumbsup:

70 out of 200. Hmm... how should I put this?.. I R teh mayjor suckz0rz!!1one1! #-o

Thats cool. It's basically the same for me, but with music. I admire a good piece of literature though, it can really move you just like music can. :thumbsup:

@ The bold, yeah, I agree. So I guess you are right, taking drugs does diminish the ability of the immune system, but it dosen't destroy it. Allergies of things such as nuts have only sprung up in the recent years, i think; possibly a direct sign that we are more reliant on drugs to defend ourselves from foreign objects.

If you looked closely, one of these sites has a colaboration of information from three doctors (people with doctorates). Oh well, I tried. I'd gladly read any source you can provide that backs up what you say or refutes what I posted.

I have a decent mobile. I don't like mobiles, or talking on phones in general, so I dont use it much. :uhh:

I think 'drugs destroy your immune system' is a bit of an exaggeration (spelling?).
